Tailored Drawings to Enhance Your Events
A friend of mine recently asked if I would draw some images to go along with each day's theme of his church camp. He gave me the ideas and scripture verses and then I drew the following pictures. Each morning the campers will be given the day's picture to look at, contemplate, and discuss. Here's what my friend wrote,
"The morning devotions will introduce each image and so they have it in their minds throughout the day and we can key on it with the things we do. We will do some interactive worship elements that work with that imagery and probably some stage setting for the evening session. The evening speaker will probably mention the imagery but will talk more about the person. The arts kids will be encouraged to use that imagery in their art that day, possibly setting up worship elements or stage setting."
